This paper analyzes a complete market neoclassical economy with heterogeneous agents. Agents have addilog preferences and receive idiosyncratic labor productivity shocks. We show that at the aggregate level, such an economy behaves as if there was the representative consumer who faces shocks to...

We compare the performance of perturbation, projection, and stochastic simulation algorithms for solving the multi-country RBC model described in Den Haan et al. (this issue). The main challenge of solving this model comes from its large number of continuous-valued state variables, ranging...

We assess gains from parallel computation on Backlight supercomputer. The information transfers are expensive. We find that to make parallel computation efficient, a task per core must be sufficiently large, ranging from few seconds to one minute depending on the number of cores employed. For...

This paper provides an under-the-hatch look at the monetary-policy transmission mechanism at work in a two-agent new Keynesian (TANK) model. We compare the transmission of anticipated, future monetary-policy shocks with contemporaneous shocks by decomposing consumption responses into direct and...
